## Summary

The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs is seeking innovative solutions for a procurement opportunity titled "Macroplastics in the North West River Basin District". The contract falls under the industry category of marketing services and is located in the United Kingdom's North West region. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender deadline of November 30, 2022, and contract period starting on December 30, 2022, and ending on December 30, 2023.

This tender opportunity presents a chance for businesses specialising in marketing consultancy services to make an impact on environmental and health issues related to plastic pollution in North West England. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate, as the procurement process follows an open procedure below threshold method, allowing for innovative approaches to deliver the desired outcomes specified in the tender documents.

## Notice

Use innovative methods to deliver a targeted strategic campaign relating to the impacts of plastics to the environment and health of the rivers and seas across North West England, with particular emphasis on groups/members of society with whom previous engagement has been unsuccessful. Additional information: Rather than take the traditional approach of the Environment Agency scoping and specifying the delivery method to be used, the preferred approach is to use an outcome based specification. The invitation to tender states the desired outcomes required for the project, but leaves potential suppliers to determine the most appropriate approach, in order to encourage suppliers to develop innovative solutions.
